Welcome to this episode of RPX Rollup! Today, we’re delving into the world of Swords of the Serpentine, a thrilling swords and sandals role-playing game published by Pelgrane Press and written by Kevin Kulp and Emily Dresner. Set in a mysterious and ancient city called Eversink, players will explore the dangerous streets and canals, unraveling the city’s secrets while facing political intrigue, supernatural forces, and deadly enemies at every turn.
Swords of the Serpentine uses the Gumshoe system, a unique role-playing system that emphasizes investigation and problem-solving. In this game, players won’t have to worry about missing out on important clues or information, as the system ensures that the necessary clues are always available to the players. With that in mind, we’ll be diving into character creation for Swords of the Serpentine. We’ll be selecting our characters’ professions, assigning ability points, and determining their allegiances. So, without further ado, grab a character sheet and let’s rollup some characters.

While passing through the Dabaran system, the crew of the Narzalus are contracted by the Foundation and tasked with locating a lost research ship, the Shamza and her crew. Traveling to the last known coordinates of the lost ship, the Narzalus comes across the remains of an old forgotten research station. While it shouldn’t be possible, the exterior of the research station appears to be covered with thick vines. Amongst those vines, the Shamza can be seen at one of the docking stations, vines already starting to overtake the ship. With no other options, the crew of the Narzalus suit up and prepare to ‘weed out’ this mystery.
